modem to switch and router

[DrunkenZombiee]

Anything with external antennas like the medium specced ASUS or Netgears.

If your router is in the middle of the house then yes get a new router but if its in a corner then you could try changing the orientation and or putting some reflective material behind it to try and make it more directional rather than omni-directional.

BT Homehub 4 got binned for me as it kept dropping WIFI signal all the time and caused alot of DHCP issues. It needed to be restarted once every few days and would drop on a critical call. Replaced with all singing all dancing netgear D7800 which is expensive but has the TV passthrough functiuonality and better range.

Ive dropped a dedicated router a while back.

running a small PC sophos firewall/router for free, actually works quite great.
